THE DEAF AND DUMB.

Superintendent Walker, of the state in.
stitution for the education of the deaf and
dumb at Olathe. Kan, sends us word that
the next term of school will commence
Wednesday, September IA, and that it is
desirable that all persons knowing of deaf
children Of school age who have not yet
attended that institution, should communt-
cate with him early in regard to admission,
A large $50. 900 addition is under erection,
and the number of students in attendance
will probably be 23O, all from Kansas.
A common school education is
given, along with instruction in
cabinet making and carpentry,
shoe making and type setting. for the male
students, and domestic work and drawing
and painting for the female students. The
corps Of teachers numbers fifteen In the
literary department and four In the indus
trial. The institution is under the control
Of the Board of State Charitable Institu-
tons, Jacob Stotler, president, and is free
to the residents Of the state of Kansas.
There seems to be an undue ignorance of
he provisions our state has made and is
making for this class of her unfortunates,
Judging from the large number of persons
who have not taken advantage of the bene-
its offered through this institution.

CRANKS AND CRANKISM,

A crank is one whose life thought

restrained view to be panacea for all tn,
Ills that affiict humanity, either in Its social
religious, physical or moral relations as tn,
case may be. The world Is full of crank.
whose standards, If conformed to, would
clog the wheels of moral and religious
progress as well as those of civil liberty and
render individual existence q burthen II

principles of the medical cranks, if enforced
would I'LL the graveyards, of moral cranks
would fill the jails thousand times over,
OF religious crsnks, the insane asylums
though they were thousand times more
numerous, and fill all these with
innocent victims. The man or woman
who becomes crank, we care not
upon what subject is lost to all happiness,
for happiness and discomfort are incompat
IDLE. A philosophical view of life and of
all Its affairs begets conservatism and char.
ity, and the greatest and best human i'm
pulse is charity. A crank of whatever de-
gree or In whatever direction, can possess
no charity, simply because marrow philos-
ophy cannot be charitable towards any
thing which or towards anybody who does
not conform to the pet line of such theorist.
Much Of the bitterness and disasters of the
centuries have come through crankism.
even though it be conceded that some of
the reforms of the world came of the same
channels. Cranks clothed with power or
back ed with the force found within ''the
balance of power" are dangerous
and harmful just In proportion to
tne extreme or innovating tenets off their
Views. A crank hates majority he can.
not control and despises all sentiments and
all PHILOSOPHERS, and all principles which

must be the fundamental idea of the Phi
losophy or principle embraced. The pres
ent age is particularly pregnant with DO
htical, religious and medicinal crankism |
whose respective converts hate all who de- |

the foibles and frailties of their fellow be-
angs, or upon all of those whose philoso
ply is broad enough to contertedly take
the world as they find it. hop
ing that 1t is all for the best.
Cnnkism has not only paralyzed commu- /
mites, ruined municipalities but DESTROYED

this true of the political crank and his hire
